The PC&T Process

Procedure

The procedure starts AFTER you have discussed your project with us, understand our philosophy and commitment, and AFTER we feel we understand your project, goals, and resources.

This can be done in person, or via e-mail or phone conversation.  We need to receive any information available describing the technology, your goals, and the opportunity. 

Once the client decides to work with us, a decision will be made in the best interest of the technology how, and where, to begin.  This decision will be determined by the following factors:

• A technology assessment

• Prior research completed, including areas such as technology assessment, industry overview, market strategy, etc…

• The status of the technology’s physical capabilities and reliability

• Your needs, resources, and limitations; and

• Our previous experience in the field. 

The majority of client’s technologies begin at the Phase I level; however, there are cases where technology is already well-developed and has obtained a professional technology and market assessment, from where Phase II-level efforts will be more appropriate.

Evaluation of prior work done will be reviewed to determine if extra efforts are needed. A detailed description and timeline of each phase is listed in the Phase Services section.

Client Relationship

The client determines his own role or affiliation during each phase process. PC&T Professionals are obligated to reveal the status of their research and progress to the client at all times.

It is preferred that we proceed with a close relationship with the client, so we can compare ideas and achieve the client's vision.

We feel this relationship may give the technology a better chance to reach the market sooner. However, if it is not in the interest of the client to keep a close relationship, we still guarantee that we will complete the job as agreed.
